It’s been an interesting year at Cannes. It’s certainly the biggest year in terms of entries, categories & delegates. 76000 entries were whittled down to 1589 winners across 18 categories.
After looking through the winners this year, it felt like Big Emotion trumped Big Data. I’ve put together a selection of what I found to be the most interesting work from the festival with this overarching theme in mind.

This is a practice-based dissertation that talks about Cinema in the Digital Age: New Financing and Distribution Models.
To explore this topic I have researched books, articles, speeches and movies of relevant authors; I have also interviewed filmmakers and entrepreneurs related to these new models of cinema financing and distribution in the digital age.
In addition I have used my own experience as a creator to produce a meta-documentary that complements this thesis, you can watch it here: https://vimeo.com/34564060
Of course it’s exciting when people offer you money to make your project, but in this fragmented world of cross-platform production, more often than not, you will be working with several funders, in different territories, for a variety of audiences, on many platforms, over extended periods of time. This cautionary tale uses case studies and personal experience to highlight the potential pitfalls of working on a large-scale cross-platform production and aims to provide strategies for creating a story-world that covers all the bases whilst keeping true to the heart of the project.
The Pixel Lab 2015 | Designing the new narratives - Adam Sigel power to the pixel
In the rapidly changing landscape between technology, art and entertainment, storytellers must begin to apply new strategies to integrate their narratives across an increasingly complex system. This lecture will better define key areas in narrative design such as story engine, user engagement, socialisation and immersion. It will lay out basic principles and challenges in creating these new narrative experiences.
The Pixel Lab 2015 | It's all about the money - Nuno Bernardo power to the pixel
Well, not really. But if you want to be truly independent in your art and craft, you need to establish a business model that works for you and your company. Even in a world where audiences spend more time online than watching TV, financing digital and cross-media content is still a challenge.
The entertainment industry is still organised in a silo structure and new, experimental and creative projects struggle to get the necessary funding. To succeed producing cross-media you need to understand the limitations and the opportunities available, from searching for available funding at the right places, to combining traditional and new sources of financing and working with brands and advertisers, without ever forgetting the potential international market. In the last decade, Nuno Bernardo was able to finance and produce iconic cross-media projects, from Sofia’s Diary to Beat Girl, that got awards and recognition but also generated the important revenues.

The Pixel Lab 2015 | How does understanding more about my audience affect pro...power to the pixel
There’s so much a producer can do these days: create, finance, promote and distribute content across multiple platforms, media and channels. No longer do you have to rely on someone else’s ‘shop window’ to get your content seen. But in doing so we have to take responsibility for finding, connecting and activating audiences. Understanding context is key. It helps make content more engaging and relevant; it helps you weave your output into the lives of your users. However, it’s easy to paint a rosy picture of their attitude towards our offerings and the quality of the experience we provide. Mapping user journeys is a great way of realising the potential of your output reaching its intended audience. But how do we map the journey without turning it into a fairy tale?
The Pixel Lab 2015 | Extending story through play - Nick Fortugnopower to the pixel
Nick Fortugno looks at the way in which games and gameplay can be used to extend, monetise, and even incubate brands and stories. By looking at successful examples of transmedia that incorporate play into their storyworlds, Nick discusses how games create aesthetics and how that practice
can be applied to larger brand strategies. From there, the talk explores how gameplay can fit into a larger transmedial strategy in a number of rules, from expanding the story’s access to new audiences to serving as an experimental platform for brand-new story properties.
The Pixel Lab 2015 | 'I Need a Dollar' - Where's your ROI? - Jennifer Wilson power to the pixel
We spend our time in digital, but the reality is that we’re all still struggling to make a living out of it. Where does the money come from, how is this structured, who can you talk to and what do you need to know? This session will take apart a successful commercial digital project (Sherlock: The Network) and look at where the money came from. We’ll then look at all
the other funding options, from advertising to sponsorship to merchandise to subscriptions to affiliate revenue to app sales. We’ll look at the differences for factual versus fiction; games versus experiences; mobile versus web. Along the way we’ll touch on YOUR project and look to see what models might work for your cross-platform concepts.
The Pixel Lab 2015 | Innovation in Book Publishing - Eric Huang power to the pixel
The publishing industry is going through massive disruption. The Big Six have become the Big Five – and Nielsen data shows that the global book market is decreasing year-on-year despite the tremendous growth of e-books.
But it’s not all gloom and doom! There are success stories. Children’s publishing is exploding. And pockets of innovation, both in traditional publishing houses as well as in start-ups that are less a year old, are redefining what it means to be a book publisher. Format is no longer as important as story, and many publishers are actively looking to commission stories
that span media platforms. Publishing professional Eric Huang leads us through a recent history of the industry to uncover the innovations springing up around the world. What sort of stories is the modern publisher looking for? What is the best way to approach them?

Early Career Struggles

Case study: Collapsus
1.
2. Collapsus signals a new experience in transmedia storytelling that combines interactiv-
ity, animation, fiction, and documentary. This pioneering approach blends real documen-
tary footage with mini-games and movie fragments, inviting you to choose your own
perspective as the story unfolds. Interact and make decisions to avoid further blackouts;
get a broader perspective by listening to the experts; or observe the consequences for
everyday people through the fictional story.
Collapsus looks into the near future and shows you how the imminent energy transition
affects a group of ten young people, who appear to be caught up in an energy conspiracy.
What will their world look like after the turbulent transition from fossil fuels to alternative
energy sources?
Following the adventures of Vera, Jack, Tony and Amir, you are lead into a world of con-
spiracy, treason and, most alarmingly, failing energy supplies. In this story, set in the
near future, the international powers try to cope with a transition from fossil to alterna-
tive fuels, while dealing with political dissension, uprisings and a population terrified by
increasingly frequent black-outs. As a player, you are required to make decisions that
leave their mark on a national and a global scale, in your quest to find solutions to the
energy crisis.

3. You will be placed in crucial moments in time, and be tak-
en to a series of locations such as London, the Ukraine,
Teheran and Colorado. Live action footage combined with
animation will help you understand the current political
situation – as well the characters’ course of destiny. In your
journey you’ll be accompanied and guided by the vlog posts
of Vera and her friends as they attempt to figure out not only
their personal problems, but also what is happening in their
collapsing world - and what they can do to create a livable
future world.
4. Collapsus aims to provide you with a deeper insight into the
complex issues surrounding global energy politics. You are
able to explore these issues by viewing the story, accessing
additional information, and making difficult choices that
influence the world’s energy production. With this immer-
sive approach, Collapsus.com uses internet capabilities to
draw astonishing international contrasts and connections,
between disparate countries and organizations, around the
central theme of energy politics. Behind every energy re-
lated article you might read in the paper lies a compelling,
globally-relevant story. Collapsus tells this story.
8. The audience for documentary is dying. The average age of a television documentary
viewer is 55 and up. Dutch broadcaster VPRO came to Submarine with the concept of
making a simulation game in which the player experiences the impending world’s en-
ergy problems. The goal was to attract a different audience than traditional documentary
viewers.
What emerged from this experiment is the transmedia experience, Collapsus. Subma-
rineChannel, the producers of Collapsus, has over a decade of experience with documen-
tary storytelling and with making games and animations, but their real passion lies in
creating a cross-over between these genres. Collapsus combines the three elements in a
unitary interface, telling this rather complex story in a contemporary manner. Producer
Bruno Felix says, “We always try to approach complex issues in appealing and engaging
ways. It was very interesting to produce a transmedia project because it is an emerging
genre that is still in development and experimentation is still possible”.
Production notes
9. Director, Tommy Pallotta brought an annotated approach to the narrative
structure of a story. “We crafted a multitasking and multi-linear experience
and we blended genres like animation, documentary, fiction and interactivity
all together in one story.
This hybrid approach allows us to look at a serious documentary subject, but
also to shift from the usual talking head approach to something that better
reflects our time.” Pallotta has been making hybrid live action/animation
films for years. He co-developed a technique that allows artist to rotoscope
(draw) over real images. He produced the features, Waking Life and A Scan-
ner Darkly using this method and assembled a small team from his past
productions to give Collapsus its unique look.
As much as Collapsus is hybrid of documentary and interactive experience,
the approach was really about story and characters.
“The scientific perspective about the future of energy is basically horrific,
no matter what scenario you look at”. Pallotta elaborates, “At the heart of
this experience though are characters, not data. This was very important to
us; to tell a story from a human perspective and experience that we can all
understand.”
